While the award show will hand out some of the same awards like MVP, they’ll also be showing spotlight on other players, teams and coaches throughout the season. According to the press release from the NBA, the official event will be on June 26th.
Many celebrities, athletes, current and former NBA players will be on hand during this star-studded celebration. As well as for the regular awards, fans will get to take part in voting.
